Pendle Monster

[southernsoftie]

Starting between 0400-0500 on either Suns 14, 21 or 28, tbc.

Option 1:

From Downham: Complete Pendle Cloughs course to the CP by the spring before the final descent (CP9?) then pick up the FTOP route from CP1 onwards. After final FTOP climb up Big End, then take the Pendle Cloughs route back into Downham.

Option 2:

From Barley: Complete FTOP route to top the final FTOP climb up Big End, then pick up Pendle Cloughs route to descend Big End t'other side of the wall (down to CP3?) and continue round Pendle Cloughs course until CP9 (? see Option 1), then take FTOP route past trig and back into Barley.

Both options will probably come in at c27mi with c7800ft of climb.

Anyone interested?

Amazed you've not got more interest for this softie. 4am on Valentines Day, 27ml / 8000ft ..................

Early days yet!

Early days yet!

Hmmm, 50+ views but no takers? Would it help if I nailed some of the details?

Okay, leaning towards option 2, as I think this will be further, but will confirm on MapMyRun later.

Also, should confirm a date later.

No!


Tooo far for my little legs...and too bloody early as well!


Sounds epic though, maybe in a few years i'll take you up on the offer.

Bring it.

Don't really have a head torch either

Then it wouldn't be much of a monster, more a mouse

More is better, further is better, harder is better, steeper is better

Agreed mate

I'm reckoning about 5 to 6 hours at a steady pace, decent scran in the pub or cafe afterwards, sounds like a good un.
